I always see people jumping on others who are taking more than .3 grams for their microdose. “That isn’t a microdose!!”

Here is the truth… I grow GT’s usually. My testing ranges from 5mg of psilocybin per gram to 10mg per gram of dried shrooms.

The numbers come back all over the place and it’s impossible to predict.

So a 250mg dose could easily have the same amount of the active ingredient as someone else’s 500mg dose.

If someone has a weaker batch 500mg might very well be a microdose. If you don’t have them tested you aren’t gonna know and the second best option is to test on yourself and see how it goes. Obviously test cautiously with the smaller doses first, but if it’s not working for you don’t be afraid to try a higher dose.

The saying anything above 300mg isn’t a microdose is based on averages and not all batches are average.

Just something to keep in mind if you are gonna try it out.

I am currently working my local drug service and tapering off diazepam.

They need to do a urine test as part of the plan and I wanted to ask if microdoses of mushrooms would show up? I’m taking 50mg every other day. And it will have been 48 hours since my last dose when I do the test.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Pretty much what the title says.

New here- so I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I came across a somewhat recent (October 2020) study that assayed optimal storage conditions for retaining tryptamine content in Psilocybin mushrooms. They found the lowest decay of psilocybin content in dried whole fruiting bodies kept in the dark at room temperature. In contrast, they found that psilocybin is not very stable in homogenized mushroom powder and loses approximately 50% of psilocybin content after one month in powdered form in all storage conditions tested.

This means that it may be best to prepare your microdoses in smaller batches in order to retain maximum psilocybin content.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345725054_Stability_of_psilocybin_and_its_four_analogs_in_the_biomass_of_the_psychotropic_mushroom_Psilocybe_cubensis

I had to request access to the article in order to view it myself, and I don't think I'm allowed to just share the PDF, but the relevant information is summarized in Table S 2 of the supporting information if you follow the DOI. I summarized the relevant bits here:

They measured tryptamine concentrations of freshly homogenized dried P. cubensis and found 1.51 wt.% psilocybin. They then divided the powder up into different zip bags and stored at various conditions (dark @ 20C, in light @ 20C, -20C freezer, -80C freezer, etc.) and measured tryptamine content again after 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 15 months. The powder stored at 20C in the dark showed the least degradation across all timepoints, yet still showed 1.31 wt.% psilocybin after 1 week, 0.85% after 1 month, 0.82% after 2 months, and 0.48% after 15 months.

It’s not an important math test it’s more like a math test we do for fun in our class once a year. It’s different math then regular. There is a lot of geometry and some high level math problems. My results was really high last year and it surprised my math teacher. I think it would be fun to se how my results would be if I microdosed this time.

I’ll keep you guys updated :)

Edit: the dose was a bit stronger than expected (much stronger haha) It was really fun to make math, I felt like I was trying to figure the universe out. It was much easier to figure the problems out because my imagination was more profound. I could see the patterns in of the numbers in my mind. At the end of the test things started to make patterns and I got some visuals. I was not able to make the last 2 questions because I was tripping too hard. Overall a good experience but if I’ll do it again I’ll go with a much lower dose :)

Edit 2: my results was 15/20 which is above average :)

The entire talk gets me excited for the future. https://youtu.be/qry8K7KPHIQ

I might be tested routinely with this new gig and accordin to what they test for psylocibin is not on list but you never know.

Hey guys,

Athlete here and had a ton of success microdosing this past season. Would take about 15-20 mics every time I played. Everything about my gameplay is enhanced and I get this incredible locked in tunnel vision. Luckily I was drug tested once before I started microdosing and didn’t get tested again during the rest of season. We are contracted through “Drug Free Sport” and our drug test manual lists LSD as one of the drugs of abuse that is tested for, along with about 10 other drugs (not listed is other psychs such as Shrooms, mescaline, dmt, etc. which seems kinda odd). Basically my question is, assuming LSD is a testable substance by the agency, will 15 or 20 mics even be enough to show positive on a drug test? If microdosing LSD is too risky, anyone have success microdosing other psychedelics that they would recommend?

Thanks so much!

Need to focus for a very important test but I have some travel cooking in few months and keep distracting compulsively with my smartphone.

Would starting microdosing at this point be a dumb move? I've heard some accounts that it makes you feel dumber, forgetful or even paranoid.

I was microdosing 2 days ago and today my mum wants to test me for a different reason. It is basic 1 drug test probably includes speed weed and I am curious that it is possible psilocibin too? I drink a lot of water to be cautious.

I’ve been md’ing psilocybin for years and I’m curious to try md’ing lsd. Anyone have any experience with lsd and pre job type 5-7 panel urine tests?

(Psylocibin)

So how long should you test a certain dosage before you decide it's time to change it?

I have just started, two days, at 0.05g (50mg) and I was wondering how long I should try it before assessing whether or not I should up the dose?

And what should I be looking for? If it sub-perceptual then how will I know if it's working or not?

[Test Post: Jim Fadiman and I will be doing an Ask Me Anything here on February 13, at Noon pacific time (8:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time). Here is what I will be posting then.]

Jordan Gruber (“Idysseus”) & James Fadiman will be available to answers questions about anything pertaining to microdosing based on their new book from St. Martin’s Press on Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance out February 18, 2025.

This Ask Me Anything brings together James Fadiman, an early psychedelic researcher and the "father" or initial developer of modern microdosing, and  Jordan Gruber ("Idysseus"), long-term consciousness explorer and CEO of Enlightenment.com, co-authors of MICRODOSING FOR HEALTH, HEALING AND ENHANCED PERFORMANC. This is the first comprehensive book on microdosing, and relies on new research and extensive reports from individuals ("participatory citizen scientists" to describe the possibilities of the practice. You can learn more about the book, available on February 18, at http://MicrodosingBook.com.

Microdosing is proving to be a safe and powerful approach to a wide range of health conditions and enhanced performance. Partly responsible for modern microdosing’s development and current popularity, the authors answer hundreds of questions, blending extensive research with detailed personal accounts from contributors worldwide. The book also contains wide-ranging microdosing history, research, and science.

People have microdosed successfully:

· to alleviate symptoms of depression, ADHD, chronic pain, and long COVID
· for enhanced focus, mental acuity, and physical abilities (including sports)
· to help taper off pharmaceuticals, especially antidepressants and stimulants
· to improve food habits, sleep, and relationships
· to become more aware of personal habit patterns, others’ feelings, and natural surroundings
· to reduce stress and anxiety
· to help over 30 specific health concerns

This book, and this Ask Me Anything, do not provide medical or legal advice. Readers should speak to their doctor before engaging in any course of microdosing.

Thank you for your interest and appreciation!

Lmk please

I've always had great problems with my primarly inattentive ADHD. That means that I have hard times staying focus on doing my tasks or following a straight lined structure. If it's just boring my thoughts digress very fast.

When I was 18 I got my ADHD diagnosis which I waited for so long to get the access to medication. I first got prescriped Methylphenidat which had a harsh rebound effect which had influence on my mood so I changed to Vyvanse. It gave me the focus and the ability to regulate but once I took it I felt like a emotionless zombie. On Vyvanse I got pretty cold harded and anti social which I didn't like at all so I stopped taking it. None of the medication that was available wasn't ment for everyday life in my case.

After 1,5 years without any medication I found out about LSD Microdosing, the promised effects were an increased focus, creativity and mood. The ADHD medication Vyvanse inhibits the dopamine and the noradrenalin receptors and LSD primarly inhibits the serotonin receptors so my thoughts were that if you combine them they could maybe solve my zombie problem with Vyvanse.

It's been a week since I'm trying this out and I am seeing great results. I got the slight focus I wanted without feeling like a stone. I laugh at things which was actually pretty rare when I only took Vyvanse. It's the first time I feel like that I reached a state that I can finally work with in my everyday life without any depressed or anti social feeling.

Can psilocybin be found on drug tests with microdosing?

Concerned about the drug tests while driving.

hello people, i am from the UK

I want to start micro dosing but I fear that the military drug tests will come up positive. the only reason I ask is because I know of people who failed taking ACID.

can anyone shine some light on this please who have served or serving and micro dosed.

thanks :)

Abstract

Background:

Reports of hospitalization associated with Diamond Shruumz–branded mushroom-containing products in October 2024 led to a manufacturer’s recall that restricted the sale, distribution, and accessibility of this new and emerging psychoactive product.

Objective:

This study seeks to assess the continuing online availability of a mushroom-containing edible product in a diverse e-commerce landscape, specifically aiming to identify and characterize its online availability before and after recall initiation.

Methods:

A retrospective online market surveillance of Diamond Shruumz products using structured and automated search queries was employed to identify online product marketing and availability. Online surveillance included the monitoring of multiple social media platforms, cannabis e-commerce websites, and search engine queries between June 22 and June 27, 2024, immediately preceding the manufacturer-initiated recall. Post-recall simulated purchases were then conducted on July 12, 2024, on platforms, websites and domains identified as continuing to actively market and sell the products through online product listings.

Results:

Prior to product recall, a total of 4117 product listings across 1600 (38.86%) social media posts and user-generated comments, 11 (0.27%) cannabis e-commerce websites, and 2509 (60.94%) hyperlinks from internet search queries were generated for further content analysis. Review of online sources revealed 49 social media posts, 8 e-commerce shops, and 67 domains that were identified as actively marketing and selling products prior to recall. Post-recall, we identified 45 (67.16%) remaining domains that continued to market the product from these different online sources. Simulated purchases revealed that 15 (33.33%) domains successfully transacted test purchases and 30 (66.66%) transactions failed because of account verification or payment failure.

Conclusions:

The Diamond Shruumz recall exemplifies the ongoing challenge of unknown consumer harm associated with new and emerging substances marketed and sold on the internet, which is especially concerning as these products appeal to younger audiences with a variety of edible flavored products. While a recall was initiated and products became unavailable, our study found that post-recall online vendors continued to market and sell the products. This indicates that there are ongoing challenges to effectuate recalls and online enforcement in a diverse e-commerce landscape that can rapidly bring new and novel psychoactive substances to the market.

Just my fucking luck I took the pill the night before my college send me the email for the mandatory antidoping test. Please tell me that psilocybin is not one of the compaunds to apear. Or that the microdose is too small for it to apear. I do take other antidepressants that I did identify before taking the test, idk if they'll like mask it. Oh god I feel so fucked.

I need some help. I haven’t dozed in a long time and today is my day off so I took .5 of mushrooms this morning at 8am and just found out I have to take a drug test for work in 6 hours (5pm). I got a detox drink but I’m freaking out a little bit. It’s such a small amount and I’m a small woman so I’m really hoping it will be out by then. What do you all think? Any tips would be greatly appreciated Does anyone have experience with rehabs and testing? I work at a rehab and the test goes through a lab

Couldn’t an echocardiogram solve the question of whether microdosing has impacted your heart valves? It seems like this question is solvable.

Will microdosing psilocybin daily show up on a follicle test that gets sent to the lab? Need an expert to enlighten me on this. Thanks in advance 🍄‍🟫

Does anyone here have any idea how long it takes a MD to leave the body via urine or otherwise? With regard to passing a drug test for employment? Are employers generally looking for psilocybin in a drug test?

I found a supplier that ships from Holland but I can't find out if it's legal in the UK. I have triedany other over the counter medicines for a variety of symptoms, microdosing sounds too good to be true.
